@sultanvr My GFR did a rapid decline within a few weeks. What was the timeline on your GFR. Use your insurance company to find a doctor if possible. Not sure if Mayo gives referral but they were quick to see me. I was discouraged with my doctor. But everything I am reading, short of stem cell, there is no way to reverse chronic, which just means your GFR is down more than 30 days.

@u4gmlglm Drop was within a 3 month period. It was unexpected as Diabetes/blood pressure where in good control. Spouse was potentially dehydrated for the test. We have tightened his diet. We had been reading so many conflicting resources regarding protein in his diet. Some saying don't believe what doctors are saying, protein is not bad for you. Sometimes I feel like we are all looking for a miracle! Since the test, we have gone back to restricting protein and carbs, and focusing on vegetables and exercise.

@u4gmlglm lucky to get blood tests monthly. How do you measure your gfr so often. 2023 gfr 80 2024 gfr 40 2025 gfr 27 2026 gfr 17 as of January that year. Time of sepsis gfr dropped 80 to 40 within the month. Yes I have a bunch of doctors and my recovery whent from 90 percent to 10 during the past few years. I do love the patient portal but not all doctors can handle the amount of questions
